On the way out of the office, Peña runs into PTRD director Joe Mora, a beefy, ruddy-featured man who chats agreeably with him. Peña registers his complaints with Mora as well. "Papou, you know about all those drivers who buy the doors on the Beach," he says agitatedly. "They're killing us."
Mora replies that many times the drivers are doing it to themselves. "They cut each other's throats," he observes.
"They have to," Peña argues.
"For scraps?" Mora queries, shaking his head. Mora says the drivers have to start coming forward with specific complaints if they want the system to change. "You know, I'm the guy who issues citations," he reminds.
Peña's cell phone rings and Mora jokes, "Just answer, Bellevue."
On the way down, the elevator goes haywire, stopping every two floors and showing the wrong floor numbers. "Of course," chortles Peña darkly. "This is Miami-Dade County. Even the elevators are crazy."
Once outside, Peña expresses his frustration with the county bureaucracy, but he's not ready to give up. "Mora, he's a good guy," he allows. "He's got good intentions, but he's got to follow orders."
A few days after his attempts to interest the county in shenanigans at Central Cab, Peña shows up for lunch at Edelweiss on Biscayne Boulevard with bad news. He's lost his cab.
His taxi-driver's license (also called a chauffeur's registration) expired two months ago, but he'd been driving on it anyway. Drivers must renew the license every year, but Peña didn't bother. He figured the county wouldn't approve it "because I'm the troublemaker for them." He says county inspectors caught up with him one day and issued a bunch of tickets. Then the owner of the company he drove for took back his taxi.
"I knew these things were going to happen," he shrugs. He recalls that in February 2002, when he was pushing the county to enforce the codes designed to protect driver rights, he was threatened by the owner of one cab company. He even drew up an affidavit for a police incident report stating that the owner threatened him outside county offices. Peña's account paraphrased the alleged threat: "Taxi drivers that have interfered and opposed the taxi companies in Miami in past years have been known to turn up missing and dead and you better stop!"
During the spring and summer of 2002, Peña and a small group of like-minded drivers began collecting information about specific incidents of cab companies, permit owners, or other drivers breaking the rules. This wasn't difficult as Peña was the unofficial leader of a cab stand (designated curbside spaces where taxis wait for customers) at Sixteenth Street just west of Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Drivers at the stand get a lot of business from the Loews Hotel, which is directly across the street.
Peña became leader of the stand because he has a loud voice and a quick mind, and used these assets to impose a semblance of order on the other drivers, who were often jockeying for position, arguing, and irritating nearby store owners. He spent a lot of time talking to drivers and picking up their many grievances about shady cab-company operators, overzealous enforcement officers, and the door-buying racket.
He began recording specific incidents of door-buying, complete with dates, cab numbers, and other crucial details, and sending notice of them to the county, the City of Miami Beach, and tourism officials such as Stuart Blumberg, president of the Greater Miami & the Beaches Hotel Association. He also sent them to the owners of hotels, cab companies, and car-rental agencies involved in the incidents. He began receiving threats from angry drivers he'd identified. One day last summer, just before climbing into his cab, he noticed a bullet hole in the driver's door. A warning, he figured. A Peruvian taxi driver friendly with Peña (who asked to remain anonymous) says word went out among drivers that to associate with Peña was to bring trouble on yourself, either from door-buying drivers or irritated county inspectors. "They want fusilar," he whispers, making a gun shape out of thumb and forefinger to illustrate to shoot. "Everybody a friend of Javier, they want kill him." He drags a finger across his throat.
Meanwhile another group of drivers at Central Cab was complaining to company president Boris Shvartsman that they couldn't make an honest buck because of the door-buyers. Shvartsman, a stocky Russian Jew who emigrated to Miami at age 40 to become a construction engineer but ended up driving a taxi for years instead, was sympathetic. At 63 years old, gray-haired and full-faced, his tiny black eyes are shrewdly appraising but not unkind. Tattooed on his left hand in fading dark ink: Odessa 1940. "I got this when I was eleven years old," he says sheepishly, embarrassed at a childish whim to mark the date and place of his birth on his skin. His years as a driver have also stamped Shvartsman with an appreciation for the rigors of the cabbie's life. "I was taxi driver eighteen years," he reflects. "This is very hard job. Dangerous, a lot of robbers, and 100 degrees in the summertime. But not so many drivers then. You could make money. Driver today, he work twelve hours, collecting three-dollar jobs."

- Re: Stay at home Mom, Need help from Experienced M...
I'm a first time Mother and I'm learn just as much as my daughter who's 19 months, as she grows up. Her attention span is about 2 seconds, and I have no idea on what to do with her when it's raining outside. I don't want her to be stuck watching T.V. all day (which she doesn't), or screaming when she's bored with her toys that she's already played with.
I thought I would be great for this age, but I realized that I'm just so lost when it comes down to a 2 second span and I guess I'm thinking too hard. lol...Please from experence Mothers out there help me...
Thanks Katie!
My kids really like going out and playing in the rain (then we come in and all take a shower together). We color, sing, play ring a round the rosies, wrestle. And of course we watch some TV. The kids began helping around the house at that age too. Your toddler is big enough she can help with laundry, putting away dishes, dusting, helping clean the floor or walls, vacuuming, etc.
We have a lot of rain, so I've got a lot of go-to ideas!
Something you might try is to get a plastic bin and dump in a bag of either dried rice, beans or peas, what every you have on hand. Then give them a measure spoon, cookie cutter, funnel plastic cup or bowl and let them go wild pouring and scooping. it's great for developing motor activity and occupies for awhile!
Thanks so much!!! I need as much help as I can! I actually grew up to fast so I have no idea on great activities. My husband is a huge kid but he works lol. Thanks again!
I had no idea about that? Thanks
Oh you have just described the last year of my life~!
Here is what i have managed to come up with
1- Go out in the rain! You wont melt and as long as its not intense downpour and she is budnled pretty well its actually a must in my book!
2- camping: we go in my daughters room lights off curtains closed and use flashlights and camp which consists of me sitting there and her playing and talking in her baby talk...but shes happy so im happy
3- Have her help you with chores sort the recycling [ie pick up put in box or bag what have you] i use paper bags as they stand freely and set the bottles beside the bag and tell her help me and pick up put in and she loves it. sorting laudry my daughter loves to help with this one, i would make her push and pull the laundry basket around and her high chair as well just to get energy burned!
4- make cookies or play dough something that will result in her assisting abd being successful- for a toddler yes you simplify it so my daughter would pour the flour and such in the bowl and stir it around with the whisk to mix it. add the liquids i blend and then we put them on teh cookie sheet. show her the finished product and tada! or with play dough once it's mixed give my daughter the bowl and elt her play on kitchen floor and make a mess of her own desire then clean up when shes played with it for a while.
5- you could have her go up and down steps [if she does so with ease now] this was always my energy killer and it helps with coordination.
6- in the summertime my favorite as it kept my daughter cool [this i used on days when i didn't feel well or couldn't get outside for one reason or another] take a big bunch of sponges cut into different shapes and put them in a big tupperwear and add enough water to wet them and a bit extra for play and let my daughter play on the kitchen floor and squeeze and also stack them she loved this kept her cool for quite some time this summer.
but you don't have to constantly keep her entertained 24 hrs a day it is good to have times where she is free to play on her own and develop the ability to play on her own as well. all kids progress diffrently so im not sure if she's ready for some downtime on her own to play in your opinion but my daughters therapists through early intervention stressed this to me constantly. so i didn't pressure myself to strcture the day like a preschool would i just tried to introuduce new things and allow her to also play alone as well.
Hope any of this helps you with new ideas!

I just bought bells hopslam. What I expected to be a hop bomb I find it to not be as hoppy as I would expect a beer with that title to deserve. In fact I don't find it very hoppy at all. Do you become accustomed to hops overtime and just demand more and more?
Sounds like it my friend. I acquired some Pliny the Elder and it didn't even seem hoppy enough for me. Good thing I brew my own, I guess.
I agree. Whe DFH 90 min came out I thought it was the hoppiest thing I'd ever drank. Now it's not hoppy enough!
I am nowhere there yet on the hop scale. I am thinking of Belgian Ale and the cloves and spice and Wheat beer more. But is this what home brewing does to you? What is it that you are after the bitterness or aroma?
I like ipas to at least have a decnet amount of bitterness. this one is ok but not very bitter at all imo
I dream about hops....
70 IBU is the minimum for my session ales. Whenever I have hop pellets in the fridge, I smell them each time I make a visit and smile. Is that odd?
something I noticed, is that before I got into craft beers and home brewing, I thought Guinness was a pretty heavy beer. I had 2 of them last night for the first time, in a long time, and it was just a very very mild beer to me. Literally, not much there at all. Im not a hop head by any means, as I dont like most IPA's yet. But, I can easily see it happening.

We recently put in a new pole barn and were left with huge bare banks on 3 sides of it that the weeds are quickly claiming. I'd like to plant some type of fast spreading ground cover that will help control the weeds. I just got a bunch of pachysandra and lily of the valley from my mom and will see how that does. The previous pachysandra we planted a few years ago has yet to fill in however. This will be bordered mostly by woods so not really concerned with it invading the lawn or anything. The soil is very sandy and not easily accessible by the hose so will need to rely mostly on rain.
Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yellow archangel or Lamiastrum is an agressive ground cover in dry shade if you can provide some occasional water to get it going. Repeated glyphosate (Roundup®) applications are a control around the edges where you want it to stop! Pachysandra in sandy soil through the winter usually has a tough time. Lily-of-the-valley is more dependable. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Yellow Archangel
I also live in Michigan, by Manistee and have a serious sand mix. This fall, I'm gonna try moving some natural growing stuff that seems to do really well all over the place on our back property. We call it "teaberry", but I think the technical term is "Gaultheria procumbens". I'll give you some to try if you want it for postage. It seems to do well as a natural ground cover, the berries are edible (kinda light, minty flavor), and with our "high and dry" sandy area it thrives all over the place and spreads into little pastures throughout the woods. I think it does best in part sun and/or dappled shade (but not sure). And I read that it's a slow spreader. Just a suggestion... |
Here is a link that might be useful: Teaberry
Horster, I do like the Lamiastrum and don't have a problem watering it until it's established. How do you think lamium or vinca would do there? Shadara, we're in Cadillac area, so not that far from you. I'm sure we have some of that growing on our property (we always called it wintergreen), maybe I'll try transplanting some and see how it does. I hear the grouse like it. |
Honestly, I have no experience with sweet woodruff as it doesn't do well in my part of KS. I can tell you that Vinca minor needs consistent moisture to be happy and spread. I might add that wintergreen failed for me even with the addition of acidified compost since KS soils here are high pH and I couldn't get my soil acidic enough. I wish I could grow it! Neat plant! Flowers and berries on the same plant. Definitely likes acid soil. Yellow archangel can get out of hand without control (glyphosate). Another one similar is Bishop's weed, Aegopodium podagraria 'Variegatum'. Both can handle dry shade ONCE ESTABLISHED. But,there is nothing there in the winter like there would be with wintergreen. Grass wise, you might look at Japanese Forest Grass or some of the sedge grasses that like shade (Carex spp.). Hortster |
Wow chez, that's kewl... we're practically neighbors, LOL. (just hit M-55/M-37 area yesterday huntin' morels. :D ) You could try creeping myrtle (?) since it seems to do ok on a rocky NE slope here by walkout basement (pretty shady). However, I realized it doesn't do as well in this location for erosion control. The storm we just had seemed to wash half of the 2 yr old plantings down to the bottom of the rocks/slope. :(( What about wild violets? They are "everywhere" right now no matter what kind of light they are getting? I'm thinking of borrowing the yellow variety I saw while shroom hunting (would go great with the standard purple). |
Creeping myrtle IS Vinca minor. Experiences are different in different areas. In MI your annual rainfall may be much greater than ours (here, typically 2 7-29" per year, however, very sporadic - we may go for one or two months without significant rain causing damage to V. minor). My statement that, for Vinca minor to do well it needs consistent moisture is that a newly planted batch hitting a two month stretch without rain in a sandy soil would suffer greatly HERE. Having said that, if it had been well mulched it would have helped to ameloriate this, but not totally prevent damage without supplemental moisture, whether established or not. If you are looking for a tenacious ground cover that will stare in the face of drought while living in dry, sandy soil in a shady area, either shadara's violets or yellow archangel or bishop's weed should work. However, keep a good supply of glyphosate on hand to keep these in check! Hortster |
Well, I think my hillside is going to look like a patchwork quilt by the time I'm done! I'm trying lots of different things to see what works best. So far I have two 50' rows of Lily of the Valley, about 6 rows of pachysandra. I transplanted a patch of bishop's Weed, a patch of lamium, a patch of sweet woodruff and a creeping phlox in one of the sunnier areas. I ordered 100 liriope as I read on another post that it does well in dry shade and the nursery that I barter with has a big pot of lamiastrum so I think I'll get that too. I am mulching everything with straw and/or wood chips and will try to keep it watered this summer but don't want to have to mess with it in the years to come. |

Project Gutenberg Made Accessible
Re:Funny definition of "accessible..." (214 comments)
Yep. To me, and probably many others who are exposed to human-computer interactivity issues, accessibility has a particular definition including:
Accessibility refers to ensuring that Content is accessible, ie. ensuring that Content can be navigated and read by everyone, regardless of location, experience, or the type of computer technology used.
The original text format is obviously tailor-made for accessibility. The HTML format will make the data more useful (perhaps even more usable?) for those people who have an HTML browser, but will make it inaccessible for some users.
Overall it's a really poor choice of wording in the Slashdot title and summary. But then again, Slashdot and many of its visitors seem to get the terms accessible, usable and useful totally wrong while they chide others for misusing hacking and cracking.

Mercedes C230 Replacement Parking Light Information
If you desire a well made car with a great reputation, you'll get a Mercedes. Top of the line vehicle dealer Mercedes is respected for designing cars that offer exquisite detailing and sleek performance. If you're the sort of person who drives a Mercedes C230, then you must appreciate luxury, and you also realize that part of appreciating a high-quality automobile is using only the highest quality aftermarket and OEM parts. Mercedes creates cars that are built for high performance, and like their other models, the C230 won't perform as designed without the best high-performance auto parts and accessories. A Mercedes C230 isn't simply a way of getting around, it's the way that the world sees you.

I have TMJ and it was causing severe headaches. I was given Naprelan to take down the inflammation in my jaw. Within two days I was feeling much better and could even open my mouth wider.

So you're wanting to build an elevated shooting bench for prone shooting. Why? Prone shooting usually works best from a ground position,and they sell some pretty nice shooting mats just for that purpose.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to move that thing too far. Looks good as a stationary or little-moved item, though. Last year I built a wooden take apart shooting bench you can throw into your truck. It works decent, but it's harder than it looks to build something out of wood that's light, strong, and mobile. It's a work in progress....
I realize mine is very big. But I hate having to sit next to a bench and lean over to get behind the rifle. I'd rather have the rifle in front of me. Maybe just a 7' long 3' wide rectangle and I'll sit on the length side usually and when I wanna go prone just turn the table 90°
I built a portable bench a couple years ago. I was going to use wood,but found a pre cut 3/4" solid plastic top on ebay,and it works great. When I want to shoot prone,I just put my shooting mat on the ground and have at it.http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f35/diy-shooting-bench-48187/
Yeah, that bench looks nice! Mine weighs half that, and probably cost me $10. But it doesn't look as nice.
I think as long as its stable when sitting or lying on it, you did good. Only thing I see as a problem is when lying on it and shooting, it might take a minute to settle down after you have shot and racked a new round into the chamber.

I'd rather not order them, but will do that if no one carries the slips. There is a place in Pooleville for mail order. Anywhere else if I have to go that route? |

Taken from the Web just from a quick lookie; Getting your sweet potato ready to grow slips is about as simple a project as you can imagine � this is why I think this particular project could be a lot of fun for children. It actually reminds me a lot of the way my dad taught me to grow an avacado plant (using the pit) when I was a kid � perhaps another reason I was tempted to try it out. Essentially, all you need to do is 1) cut off a chunk of sweet potato (an end section works best), 2) position it over a jar filled with water (using several toothpicks), leaving part of the potato immersed, and 3) place the jar in a warm, brightly lit room. According to Ed Smith (author of the aforementioned �bible�), if you are planning to use the slips in the garden, you will want to wait until they are 4-6 inches long � at which time you gently twist them off and immerse them in water as well. Once the roots on each slip is an inch or two they are ready to be transplanted into a loose, rich soil bed in an area that receives a lot of sun. So there you have it! If you are looking for a fun little plant-growing project for your kids (or your own inner child), and/or you live in a region that�s warm enough to still plant sweet potatoes (within the next month or so), I highly recommend testing out this simple technique. |
Thank you for that. I'll try it, have nothing to lose, or not much. I always heard that pototoes from the produce section have something sprayed on them to keep them from sprouting. My white potatoes sprout like crazy, but I've never had a sweet potato sprout. Still, I have to go to the store today, so I'll get some and see. |
They sprout very easy.. I grow them every yr just as ground cover.. Ya know the one I bought and didn't eat..LOL The foliage is Beautiful and helps shade the soil.. Kylie |
I should have asked this before, but maybe it's not too late. After cutting the end of the potato, do you stick the cut end into the water or the pointy end? |
Preparation: Cut potatoes into small pieces (1-1/2 to 2 ounces) about the size of a walnut or large ice cube with two or three "eyes" per piece. Dust with sulfur and let set several days before planting to allow the potato to "heal" or "cure". The cured pieces will retain their moisture and the sulfur helps to prevent rotting. Garden sulfur (4, 5 or 50 lb. bags) bags are available in most lawn & garden centers or farm supply stores. Potatoes planted later when the soil is warmer and drier are less likely to rot and can be planted immediately after being cut. Planting: Potatoes like to be in the ground deep. It is most ideal to dig trenches 4" wide, 4" deep and place rows 30-36" apart. Place seed potatoes or whole small potatoes 12" apart in the trench and cover with 4" soil. I usually plant 5 lbs. of potatoes--just enough for spring eating. I take my 5 lb. bag of sulfur and dust my cut potatoes. Then I dust the top of my covered potatoes with the remainder of the sulfur. I also side dress with 1 lb. of Triple Superphosphate (0-46-0) and 1 lb. of 5-10-10 per 25' row. Potatoes need extra phosphate for root growth and then do not like too much nitrogen or you will get all plant and no potatoes. "Old timers" who plant by the moon, plant root crops on new moon (Good Friday) and above grounds crops on full moon. This is the first year (2002) that I have tried it and I have the best stand that I have ever had and they came up much faster. So we will see what the harvest is like! Care: Be patient, it takes potatoes a little while to come up. After the potatoes have emerged from the ground several inches, hill the soil up around the plants. You may need to repeat the process one more time. This protects the potatoes growing deep in the soil from sunlight which can turn the tender new potatoes green and bitter. I also like to mulch with straw or horse manure with shavings to help with weed control. We have a near-by stable and the daily pickings from the stalls make excellent mulch. I have found the manure tends to be "hot" so be careful not to burn the plants. Harvest: You can harvest new potatoes in 10 weeks. For larger potatoes, wait until the vines have died. The potatoes will have developed tougher skins. Dig, wash potatoes and let dry under a tree for several days. Pick out any potatoes with rotten spots or that cut during digging. The potatoes are then ready to storage in a fruit cellar or dry, dark, cool room. You do not want the potatoes to freeze as the insides will turn dark when fried. The hungry Colorado Potato Beetle will be your biggest challenge. So be prepared to spray or dust regularly. They can strip the leaves before you know what happened so keep regular watch over you potatoes!!! Kylie |
Thank Kylie, but it's too late for that on the potatoes I already bought. I cut them into 3 pieces, stuck toothpicks in them and set them on top of a glass of water, cut side into the water. After doing that I wondered if it should be the other end in the water. |
When I cut them, I put them all cut side into the water. Today there are a few sprouts, so I guess this is the way. |

EASY BEING GREEN: Fashion magazine Above will today unveil its renaissance as an environmental lifestyle magazine. The first issue intends to tackle environmental themes in a way that's entertaining, according to editor-in-chief and publisher Nicolas Rachline.
"We don't want to be the National Geographic. It would be absurd to go against those giants," he said, explaining the shift was inspired by an invasion of jellyfish in Saint-Tropez last summer. "It's an awesome sight, a very fearful sight, a bay you usually swim in swamped with billions of jellyfish, it wasn't natural," he said. "It was like a switch in my mind: This can't go on." He happened to be en route to see Peter Beard, both a renowned photographer and conservationist, and the idea to turn Above green was born.
Guest edited by Charlotte Casiraghi, who interviewed fashion's green queen Stella McCartney for the issue and who was instrumental in securing an interview with "Gomorrah" author Roberto Saviano (which took place in hiding thanks to Saviano's dissection of the Mafia), articles take a wild ride from a review of the world's first electric sports car to a transcript of a conversation with Jean Pigozzi about his new clothing line Limoland, during which Stefano Pilati ponders how jellyfish are formed. Other contributors include stylist Charlotte Stockdale and photographer Tierney Gearon.
The tone varies from the seemingly frivolous — asking fashion designers about their green habits, including how many sheets of toilet paper they use — to what Rachline terms "wake up and smell the coffee" messages, such as an article warning about the disappearance of tuna. "People don't like to read bad news," he acknowledged. "But we can't just have good news in the magazine. We have to also make people aware."
Targeting a circulation of 50,000, Above is printed on recycled paper in a more compact version of its former self. The more than a dozen advertisers in the 120-page debut issue include Paul Smith, Lacoste, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Biotherm plus environmental groups such as Greenpeace. Its U.K. price is 5 pounds, 5 euros in the Euro-zone and $10 in the U.S.

Hi all,
I have a mature orange tree that isn't looking too good lately. Some of the leaves are curling in with the back facing out. I tried to do a search here and most suggests overwatering which is not possible since we don't water... :) What makes me worry is that we have another orange tree right beside it and that one has just died couple months ago (you can see it in the pics). Is it something in the soil? How do I go about diagnosing it? Pictures here -

This is a HUGE shame...It looked such a nice tree...Ouch, I would hate this to happen to any of mine..And I thought growing in the ground had it's advantages... Since it did so well for long, do you think the weather or fertilizer is affecting it this time..I tend to think if you haven't had rain for a long time, and you do not water, they may be just drying up to death...The leaves look dehydrated and the roots are so impaired, that they will not even take up moisture or fertilizer one the roots have gone past the point of to dry.. Who am I too know, since I do not grow them in the ground here..But it is just a guess...A well experienced member will be here shortly to help you for sure... Mike |
- Posted by confused_newbie CA 9 (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 19:47
Me too I am very sad! I've lost one already and I am determined to help this remaining one survive! It just rained for two days so I don't know if it helps. If it needs water we will do that. I don't think we have fertilized... maybe once a year max. |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 21:29
How much rain did you get? We definitely know that it is not from over watering since it barely rains there, or hasn't in quite some time till now. I would soak the heck out of it, and see if there is a fast improvement..You have nothing to loose...Get a hose, dig a trench around it, and water, water, water, deeply...At least 50 gallons or more.. Mike |
- Posted by wally-1936 Richmond Texas (My Page) on Tue, May 18, 10 at 23:15
I would take a few leaves to your Good Local nursery or if there is a extension agent near by and get some information from them. |
- Posted by houstontexas123 z9 (My Page) on Wed, May 19, 10 at 4:58
if there's a dead tree right next to this one, then there may be a lack of nitrogen. the decomposing roots of the dead tree could be sucking up the nitrogen around the ground near that orange tree. i have chopped down 2 trees over the past year and have dumped some cow manure on top of the stumps to aid in quicker decomposition. |
- Posted by destin_gardener 8-B/9-A (My Page) on Wed, May 19, 10 at 21:26
It is either getting too much water or not enough. It also looks like it wants to be fed some micro-nutrients too. If things have been really dry, water like Mike said. It also wouldn't hurt to take a soil sample with you if you take any of the leaves to your local nursery or county extension office. |
- Posted by confused_newbie CA 9 (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 16:34
Mike, we got a tiny bit of rain not much. This past winter we did get more rain than normal, but we are in the drier part of the country so I guess hosing it down won't hurt? |
- Posted by confused_newbie (My Page) on Thu, May 20, 10 at 16:38
Yes there is a great nursery close by I'll take some soil and leaves to ask! We actually asked an arborist to come out couple months ago when the other orange tree just died. Back then this one was ok. So if I feed it with the good old citrus fertilizer, it won't hurt right? We'll also chop up the dead tree asap then. We thought there's no hurry; didn't know that it could actually take up nitrogen. Thanksss!!! |
- Posted by confused_newbie CA 9 (My Page) on Sat, May 22, 10 at 21:26
Interesting info I got after a trip to the local nursery - The lady suggested that leaves curling like this always mean overwatering, and she said we had a very rainy winter. So I guess it is possible that the tree got too much water just from the winter rain. She suggested this: trimming the curled outer layer, spray with citrus growers blend, feed with citrus food, and add soil sulfur. I am unsure of the soil sulfur - she said that rain water is alkaline and our soil in the area is alkaline. But does it harm the environment? Thanks all! |
- Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Sun, May 23, 10 at 8:54
Hi confused...Not to confuse you further, but ALWAYS is not a proper term for the nursery to use for curling leaves...I have seen many trees leaves curl from sucking insects, and a lack of water.. I still don't think your tree is dying from a wetter than normal winter, unless it is sitting on top of a puddle of water or something. Why can't you just dig into the ground to the roots, and see if the soil is dry..You will probably loose it before you really ever know the answer..:-( Something is stopping it from taking up moisture..To be sure, dig and see if the soil is too moist, or to dry..I think many in your state would be loosing their trees if the rain was to blame.. Mike |
- Posted by confused_newbie CA 9 (My Page) on Sun, May 23, 10 at 17:17
Hi Mike, yeah I am confused, haha as always. The tree has been in this location for a long time as far as we can tell. Not sure why all of a sudden it can't stand the winter rain. I am glad that it's sunday so that we can do some gardening, and yup we'll dig and see if it's dry or wet! |
- Posted by destin_gardener 8-B/9-A (My Page) on Sun, May 23, 10 at 19:17
"she said that rain water is alkaline and our soil in the area is alkaline" While I agree that the soil out west does tend to be on the alkaline side of things, natural rainwater throughout most of the world should be acidic, due to the natural presence of Carbon Dioxide, Sulfur Dioxide, and Nitrous Oxide...I would be suspect of the advice of any nursery man or woman who would claim that rainwater is alkaline...the ground water, now that's a different story. Mike is right about checking to see if the soil is dry or moist. Also, if you haven't already done so, take a soil sample to your county extension office and have them test the soil. They should be able to provide the PH of the soil, organic content and any nutrient deficiencies that are present. This may give you more insight into the problems plaguing your tree. Good Luck.... |
I think the person at the nursery is full of it. I live in Northern California and have citrus outside all winter in the rain. They all look great right now. Citrus can handle the wet soils in the winter. I would guess that lack of water is much more likely than too much water. I am surprised that you almost never water it. Do you get any rain during the summer? I deeply water my in-ground citrus about once per week in the summer. Despite having a lot of rain the spring (for California) I recently dug into the soil and found that was very dry. Most of the rain has been a half inch or less each week. I agree with Mike and that you should do a deep watering and then continue to do waterings at regular intervals, perhaps once per week. I also agree that a high nitrogen fertilizer with minors looks in order. Good luck. -Brett |

The sidewalk is proceeding on Osborne Road connecting the existing sidewalk that ends at Cliff Lawn Drive to the shopping center at Jefferson Davis Highway and Osborne. The new section of sidewalk will include new curbing and storm water control. The five-feet wide sidewalk project also includes a small wall as the project had to cut into the bank that runs approximately 500 feet.
According to the contractor, Dickerson Construction, LLC, the project should be completed on or about the end of August. A request by Chester Community Association Vice President, David "Kent" Dodd, was the impetus to get the project started when he approached Bermuda Supervisor Dorothy Jaeckle. Mr. Dodd had other pedestrian projects that had been laid out in the Chester Plan adopted in 2005. Those projects are waiting to be funded.
The Chester Plan explicitly identifies the pedestrian routes desired by Chester and Centralia area residents:
"Numerous customer contacts made through the customer service process have emphasized the value of a community connected by a pedestrian network. While citizens recognize that this is a long-term goal that will be achieved through a focused effort, the Chester Plan seeks to provide the guide for the future network. The Land Use Plan map recommends a comprehensive pedestrian network, which would be made up of both trails and sidewalks."
Sidewalk projects have been completed in Dale, Matoaca and Midlothian districts.

Michael Jackson, Traveler
Photo: AP Photo / Adil Bradlow-File
Over the upcoming weeks, you'll undoubtedly be deluged with information about the death of Michael Jackson. Some of it will celebrate his life, much of it will pour over the last sad years (TMZ is already compiling the sordid details).
We at Boldface prefer to remember Michael's gifts above the gossip. His odd behavior may have overshadowed his talent and made him into an object of ridicule in the United States, but we mustn't forget that in his heyday, when Michael spoke (or danced), everyone listened. And we do mean everyone. During the 1980s, he made history not only for producing some of the biggest albums in music but also for plying the globe with his concerts. In fact, his Bad World Tour earned a spot among the Guinness Book of World Records for reaching the most audiences ever (4.4 million, give or take). During this tour, he visited countries that were considered far off the grid, such as Gabon and Egypt.
In this way, Michael was the consummate traveler, engaging with every corner of this planet through music, connecting us all.
As a kid growing up in the gray cocoon of Communist Russia in the 1980s, there was very little that I knew about the world outside. Yes, there was TV, but it showed happy farmers hoeing and Lenin's disciples calling for the proletariat to unite. Remember: We didn't have Twitter, the Internet, or even cable with which to disseminate information. What we did have was a VCR. My family was the first in our community (if not our city) to get this amazing machine. It was probably smuggled under someone's shirt, but regardless, it arrived at my house accompanied by only one tape: the 14-minute-long "Thriller" music video. I cannot overstate its impact on the six-year-old me. I was mesmerized, terrified, and wore the tape thin watching it. All I wanted to do was see more, learn more, be more. Luckily, I got the chance when we immigrated to America.
I will never forget the origins of that spark to see the world. And for that Michael, I thank you.

We tried a whole slew of Rosés, from bone-dry to syrupy sweet, but these five are just right, plus they have an affordable price tag to match. Keep reading to find your next picnic wine.

2011 Chevrolet Volt
GM asserts that the Volt is still on schedule. Depressed oil prices and bleak financial outlook be damned, your vehicle of the future will be in Chevy dealerships in November 2010. GM is also considering other extended-range electric vehicles and is beginning to develop its next-generation Voltec powertrain. Of course, the Volt isn't waiting alone - the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac Converj also require the same battery technology.
Toyota Prius Plug-in
Toyota is playing it safe with the plug-in Prius. It will build 150 units for fleet testing later this year but won't commit to a production model. The issue, Toyota says, is the unproven reliability of lithium-ion batteries. It won't risk the Prius's strong brand equity on pricey new battery technology that may fail.Others, chief among them GM's Bob Lutz, say that Toyota is merely trying to protect its investment in nickel-metal-hydride batteries, which it produces in-house for itself and other carmakers. We won't know who was right until after 2010, when the Chevrolet Volt is set to launch.
2011 Tesla Model S
Tesla plans to drive the electric vehicle from sideshow to main stage with a mass-produced four-door sedan. Due in late 2011 and priced at $49,900 (after a $7500 federal tax credit), the base model will carry five adults and two children 160 miles between charges. The 5500-cell battery pack reportedly will propel the historic EV from 0 to 60 mph in less than six seconds and achieve a top speed of 130 mph. The early buzz? Shocking.

Well my roommate called me and informed me that he can no longer pay rent, and will not be living with me anymore.
Now, he is on the lease, however, my property company does not care where the money comes from, just so long as it comes.
I can buy out of the lease for $1000, but rent is $500 a month not including electricity or internet, and I make $800 a month at my current job.
Needless to say, I can't afford this place on my own, and this is the 12th bad roommate to date. In fact, I've never had a roommate that I could call "good".
Late August/early September I go back to my seasonal job making almost double what I make now, but I fear that I will not be able to pay the rent until that time.
What to do?! I guess I could pull a Seinfeld and start "The Human Fund" like George did one episode...

It wasn't until the last minute (since she was the #2 ranked player--she had precedence), she decided to go to Linz--with out Kotyza to "work on my game and practice my shots", she said.
Remember, Petra doesn't have to learn how to slice, drop shot and volley. She already can. It's more a timing, feel--for the opponent--issue, under match conditions (especially against excellent opponents--or after she hasn't played in a while).
I think it was just her gut feeling and frustration because of low level performance after slam win, this time it all can be different. We have to wait and see how stuff unfolds but i have confidence in Petra and hope she can make out of RR rounds and gets to semis.

Maybe the pre and post pubescent boys of Prostejov can?....But who knows (what we know about them, their ability, and experience)?
Petra practiced with Adam who was just low level men's mug and she wins Wimbledon than she stops practicing with men and her level goes downhill(omit YEC form), so maybe this way is better

Non-GAAP Financial Measurements
This news release dated September 6, 2012 contains non-GAAP financial measures. Tables are provided in this news release that reconcile the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures include non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share. To supplement the Company's consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information about the Company's core operating results and thus are appropriate to enhance the overall understanding of the Company's past financial performance and its prospects for the future. Management is excluding from its non-GAAP operating results Financial Accounting Standards Board ASC 718 (FAS 123R) stock-based compensation. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the Company's financial results, and believes these measures provide useful information to investors. For its internal budgeting process, management also uses financial statements that do not include, when applicable, share-based compensation expense. The adjustments to the Company's GAAP results are made with the intent of providing both management and investors a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying operational results, trends and performance. The presentation of additional information is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for or superior to financial results determined in accordance with GAAP.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
